Our AI Breakthrough in Antiviral Discovery Now Published! I'm excited to share that our latest research has been published in Antiviral Research! This work presents Cortex Discovery AI platform, and shows how the use of its virtual high-throughput screening (HTS) and virtual ADMET capabilities, has led to efficient drug discovery. Out of 6 compounds tested, 5 showed efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 in infected cells, with 2 now patented working prior and after COVID infection in 3D human cell cultures. Special thanks to Demi van der Horst, PhD and David Olagnier from Aarhus University for their outstanding work on the experiments and to our funders, notably CNRS , Novonordiskfonden and Lundbeckfonden. https://lnkd.in/dhkgTT2E Follow us for updated news in the AI-driven development of novel longevity compounds! #CortexDiscovery #AI #COVID #SARSCoV2 #AntiviralResearch #DrugDiscovery #VirtualHTS #VirtualADMET #Innovation #Patents #AarhusUniversity #CNRS

Further Proof of Cortex AI's Capabilities: Novel Anti-HIV Inhibitors Discovered Cortex Discovery is excited to announce another significant achievement in our quest to harness AI for groundbreaking drug discovery. Our AI model, initially trained on a PubChem assay for gp41 (HIV-1) inhibitors, has led to the discovery of novel anti-HIV inhibitors. In collaboration with Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM), University of Oslo and SINTEF , we conducted an in vitro screen of gp41 inhibition from a library of 2000 new compounds. The top 10% of our in vitro ranking contained 21 of the total 22 hits, and 2 of our top 3 compounds were confirmed hits. This demonstrates the power of our technology for virtual HTS, showing that we can extend any HTS to a virtual HTS with comparable precision.
